Optima Yellow Top To Optima Blue Top!

My Optima Yellow Top was not matching my blue themed engine bay so I bought a Optima Blue Top.

I also got a new digital camera I have a Fuji DX10 and I just bought a Kodak DX3500.

Before(pic taken w/my Fuji DX10)


After(pic taken w/my Kodak DX3500)


I also attended a charity car show that was sponsored by Advance Auto Parts to enter we had to bring canned food that was donated to the local food bank. I placed 3rd in class 2, an open show for all cars made after 1980.

Umm yeah, let's paint the plastic so that it fades, cracks and peels in a few months and looks like ***... good move to buy the new one.

If it's done right, it won't crack fade or peel.

Those things can not be painted...even with full use of an auto repair shop and countless paints...an oven...the paint always came out looking like crap.

heh it actually grows on you. looks but doesn't feel like it looks. if that makes sense. ie, you are most likely to be 'ghettoed' in downtown atl than downtown smalltown, ga.

There's a big difference between ghetto and country.

You ever seen a real cow?

how do you think it became the McDooDoos cheeseburger you had for lunch?
Someone had to grow it, and those "ghetto" farmers are the ones that put food on your table, every single day. If the farmers weren't there, you wouldn't eat.
(remember what happened in new york a few years back when the trashmen went on strike??)
